Found this floating on the bay a month ago. Rare 4" model 471. The 4" and the 7" are pretty hard to find. This one is in really nice shape but did not have proper sheath and naturally the sheath for the odd sizes are also hard to find. Some light freckling but lots of original finish. Dang post office was really bad, took 25 days to get to me after it left it's last California stop and 28 days from when I paid for it and seller shipped the next day!! This is an early one with the fat or "blob" pommel and the model marked on the guard. I have two others but nowhere near as nice condition.
KA-BAR 471-4

Great shape on that Gene. I've never seen that model in a 4" blade.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
